Becoming Ladies

Becoming Ladies They passed down the hush they remembered from childhood, each generation of breasts and feet forced into propriety until they no longer knew who they were apart from what they should not be, that list feeling endless but which was, in truth, short: drawing attention to yourself is impolite, wait to be told what to do, freeze out the reckless and indiscreet who can’t control themselves, always smile even when it’s strained.

Abstract

They passed down the hush they remembered from childhood, each generation of breasts and feet forced into propriety until they no longer knew who they were apart from what they should not be, that list feeling endless but which was, in truth, short: drawing attention to yourself is impolite, wait to be told what to do, freeze out the reckless and indiscreet who can’t control themselves, always smile even when it’s strained.
